James McAvoy is a hands-on dad

No special treatment for this Hollywood dad. James McAvoy said during a recent interview that he helps his wife take care of their toddler son.

The actor and his wife, Anne-Marie Duff, who met on the set of gritty UK TV drama Shameless, try to evenly share parenting duties for their three-year-old son, Brendan, and would rather relax at home or at their local pub as a family than go to showbiz events.

"My wife and I want to work, but we also want to make sure that one of us is at home with the family. So we take it in turns a little bit.

"But other than that we just keep our noses clean and our heads down. We don't go to all the parties. If we want a drink, we go to the pub,” James said.
